Overall Duration On a long ride, it’s sometimes good to have a little break in the middle, or maybe a catch up at the beginning or end to keep it sociable. This means that the overall ride duration may be longer than the actual cycling time.

3 hours 5 mins
(2 hours 25 mins cycling)

Bike Type You probably don’t want to drag your road bike across bumpy trails. Maybe you want to make the most of the suspension on your mountain bike. This helps you match your ride to your bike.

Sky Ride Local in Manchester

Challenging rides on the road for adults only If you’ve been riding a road bike for a while, and perhaps been thinking about joining a cycling club, these rides – brand new for 2012 – are for you. The prospect of a speedy pace over twenty to fifty miles, and the strong likelihood of some hills thrown in along the way, means our Ride Strong Plus rides are not for the faint-hearted.

This stunning 32 mile ride in the South of Manchester takes in the beautiful surroundings of Tatton Park, one of the North West’s most popular heritage attractions and Quarry Bank Mill where you will see natural wildlife at its best. The ride showcases the beautiful countryside which can be found on your doorstep.

If you've already tried one of our Ride Strong Plus rides and you're ready for the next challenge, why not try a British Cycling Sportive?

Additional Information

As these are adult only rides, designed for cyclists progressing from the standard Ride Strong level, the pace of the ride could increase to 15mph at the discretion of the Ride Leader.

Helmets must be worn by all under 18's regardless of ride level. Please bring equipment with you to repair punctures, Ride Leaders are there to help but are not responsible for your bike. All rides leave at the time stated you must arrive early Ride Leaders will not wait.

Meet the Ride Leaders

This will be my 3rd year as a Ride LEade and I have really enjoyed meeting all the people on the rides I have supported. It's great to see at first hand the cycling bug really hitting home. I started cycling again after a few years off and saw the opportunity of being a Ride Leader as a way of ensuring I get out on my bike as well as hopefully getting more people out on their bikes. It's also a great way to get fit and lose a few pounds! I regularly cycle with friends on eveings after work or at weekends as well as to work and home (depending on the great British waether). A group of us (18 in total) completed the Coast to Coast bikde ride (or C2C) - over 3 days - riding from Whitehaven to Sunderland in June of 2012. It was a fantastic experience and in doing this we raised over £6000 for a local charity. This year I am in training for a 4 day London to Paris Ride which will coincide with the end of this year's Tour in Paris. Hopefully the weather will be kind and let me get the miles in. I look forward to meeting you on one of the Sky Rides.
